A different approach to hackathons with a training mode. For me, the audience was different from my usual University students type - and hence made a great experience. Also, we had Mediawiki hackers like Sejal and Anmol in the team as well, which was nice. Also, for a change we were sitting on the floor and hacking Mediawiki, which was kind of a different fun.

What did not go well during the event, and how it could be improved?

Well, from the organizations perspective - this was smoothly organized. Probably, a bit more of Mediawiki hacking and make all participants hack on their own was something I missed. Also connecting everyone to Mediawiki IRC channels were misesd. But I guess this was not the intention anyway, hence - I think we were going good. Even though, again I found out the sad truth that it would be a mistake to live demo something which is not 100% documented!

What did you learn in the workshop?

This was a learning event for me as well, as my recent contributions to Mediawiki was mostly code review and not a lot of PHP code writing as such. I found out couple of issues that can come up while live demo-ing writing a functional extension.

What learning did you share with others?

I was leading part of the workshop with Jay. This went well I hope and I could demo most of the stuff thinking out loud. At times this got too technical, but I hope the participants could understand how to tackle a real-world problem.

Your planned future activities?

Hope to connect with the participants, and hopefully engage in more hours of hacking if time allows.
